St. Michael's Church, Erfurt
St. Michael's Church: University Church and Luther Memorial
St. Michael's Church is one of the oldest parish churches in Erfurt. It was built between 1278 and 1290 on the foundations of a previous building founded around 100 years earlier by an Erfurt patrician family, of which only the lower floors of the late Romanesque tower remain.

The Michaeliskirche in Erfurt belongs to the Evangelical City Mission Erfurt and is the university church of the University of Erfurt.

As early as 1183, a church was built at the current location, donated by the patricians Walter Kerlinger and Dietrich Hotermann as well as by Conrad Brun and Heinrich de Stalberg. At that time the church was on Via regia next to the Jewish quarter of Erfurt.

Martin Luther, who studied in Erfurt between 1501 and 1505, regularly attended masses in Michaeliskirche. He preached here on October 21, 1522, after the first Protestant service had taken place in 1520. Bonemilch ordained Luther as a priest in 1507 (probably on April 3). Luther's friend Johannes Lang, the reformer of Erfurt, preached in the Michaeliskirche from 1530 and was buried here in 1548.

The inner courtyard of the Michaeliskirche is an enchanting place that you just have to take a closer look at.
